Summary
Injury to the facial structures is disastrous and it affects the quality of life; which increases the demand for esthetics [1, 2]. Management of injuries in this region presents one of the most challenging procedures, as fractures are invariably associated with morbidity, disfigurement, functional problem and expensive treatment [3, 4]. Road traffic accidents (RTA) are the common cause for the injury [7, 8]. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the incidence, gender prevalence, etiology, site of maxillofacial fractures and their management. The whole perspective of life turns dynamic with an esthetic face while facial deformity caused by trauma, congenital disabilities, and postsurgical sequelae produce a negative impact on perceptions of social functionality
